Taiwan and Honduras ended more than eight decades of diplomatic relations as the central American country said it now recognizes the island as part of China.
China and Honduras will establish diplomatic ties at the ambassadorial level effective immediately, according to a Chinese foreign ministry statement, calling it “the right choice” for the Central American country. Taiwan said the Honduran decision was regrettable and hurtful, and linked it to the promise of financial support from China.
